256 pages, illustrated throughout with many black-and-white photographs and black-and-white line drawings, as well as full-page colour plates (17), and black-and-white maps. This is not a book for sensitive people who could be offended by full frontal male nudity. (Or black-and-white pictures of skeletons). Illustrated dust jacket. The dust jacket is rubbed at the top and bottom of the front fold over, and at the top of the spine, and there is a 1.5 inch tear which has been neatly repaired with sticky tape on the bottom edge of the front panel. The binding of the book is clean and tight, slightly rubbed from contact with the shelves on the bottom edge. This complete and up-to-date survey of archaeology gives a clear picture of the extent of the subject in time and space, and provides the necessary information which is acquired for more specialised study. It is essential reading for anyone who desires a general knowledge of the origins of man and the pre-history of the world, and will provide the background against which the importance of new developments and discoveries can be assessed by laymen and would-be students of archaeology. -- front fold over blurb.
